Water is necessary for carrying nutrients to your cells, flushing bacteria from your system, preventing dehydration, and replacing fluids lost from sweating, but you may not need to drink as much as you thought.
Stephen R. Daniels. pediatrician. No. You shouldn't give your newborn water or sugar water. And if you're feeding powdered or concentrated formula to your baby, never dilute it with more than the amount of water called for on the label. Your infant will get all the necessary hydration from breast milk or formula.
NO!!babies get all the fluid they require from milk breast or formula. Water should not be given till after 6 months speak to your dr. there is no need for water. NO, you should not give your baby water. They get all the water they need in their formula/breastmilk. If you start giving water, you can easily upset the water balance in their bodies. It does not take much water to cause water intoxication, because the baby's little bodies are much smaller than ours.
